Surprise! Long-lost friends will be at your front door in 10 min- utes. You have no time to clean the house or even to panic. Instead, move into high gear with this 10-minute rescue: 1) Set a small pan of water over medium heat. Add spices -- such as cinnamon, allspice and cloves -- and leave it to heat. 2) Grab a box or a grocery bag, and clear all coffee tables, end tables and kitchen counters into it. Stash it in a closet. 3) Gather all bathroom clutter, and deposit it in the tub or shower and draw the curtain. 4) Clean all flat surfaces you cleared with furniture polish or all- purpose cleaner. 5) Starting at the front door, vac- uum the visible areas. 6) Light the candles and the fire- place. Switch on the stereo, and turn down the lights. Whew! You made it. The house looks great. Smells good, too. Enjoy your company, and when they are gone, take a few more min- utes to go through the box in the closet. And don't forget the tub. • Decorating A single focal point. When it comes to holiday decorating, less can be more elegant and less time- consuming. You don't have to deco- rate every square inch of the house. Hang one large wreath or decorate only the mantel, and let that be the focal point. Oodles of candles. If the holiday arrives before you find time to decorate, don't panic. All you really need are lots of cheap unscented white can- dles in all shapes and sizes. Put them every- where. Turn down the electric lights and your home will look great. Candlelight is inexpen- sive, very theatrical and so forgiving. Remove candle wax. Remove drips by soften- ing them with a hair dryer and then wiping them away with a paper towel. Or harden the wax by covering it with an ice cube wrapped in plastic. Scrape off the wax with a plastic spatula. Anything natural. Look outdoors Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate for anything green -- such as juniper bushes, magnolia leaves, pine boughs, even twigs or branch- es -- that you can cut and bring indoors. Arrange on mantel or table. Intertwine with red ribbon. Light bulb sleeves. Save the paper sleeves light bulbs come in. They are the perfect shape and size to use to store Christmas tree orna- ments. Clean carpet. If you have your carpet professionally cleaned, you can save time and money by not moving the furniture and cleaning only the high-traffic areas. • Gift ideas Make a contribution to a charity in the name of your recipi- ent. The organization will send out a gift card announcing your generosi- ty. Any dollar amount is appreciated, however the exact amount of your dona- tion typically is not dis- closed. Give what you do. Make your gift what you do well. Make up your own gift cer- tificate announcing your gift of baby-sitting, errand running, chauffeuring, gar- dening, window washing, graphic design, computer lessons or car washing. Toy swap. If you have very young children, arrange with other families to swap toys instead of having everyone buy new ones this year. Clean them up, and wrap them up; the kids will be none the wiser.
